Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Re: will probate

You have up to four years to probate, before the statute of limitations runs (though there are some arguable exceptions.) You can petition the probate court to force the person in possession of the will produce it in court. If you are a beneficiary, you can apply for probate yourself. If the executrix doesn't follow the will, you can sue her for breach of fiduciary duty. Rather than go down this very expensive road, you may consider a sit down meeting to negotiate a family settlement agreement, and work out something you can all live with.
